A small town scene that will soon be no longer possible.
CSX train M820 splits the classic B&O CPLs in
"downtown" Holton, Indiana, as my oldest daughter waves to the crew from the trackside post office on August 8, 2025.
Signal upgrades mean these classic signals will fall on August 20, replaced by a single masted "Vader" governing traffic in both directions behind me. While the spirit of the B&O will live on as long as trains roll through Holton, it definitely won't feel the same.
